I have one of these at level 35 as a mage. It was given to me to equip all my naked characters since I gave all my equipment away to my guild when I left EQ over 3 years ago (mage was born Jan 26, 2000). My next step is to replace this but it's done well so far. It pulsates red around the hand that you have it equipped in, and looks exactly like some higher level int items.

Posted:Jun 29 2002 at 12:51 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) this thing is so farmed lol on the seventh hammr atleast. Any time i come to kill him he isn't up lol someoen always takes him out or the someone camps in the room and then logs in and out to see if he is there. Anywho i have camped this guy about 7 times so far. Go fist of

Why doesnt the stein count lol. Its still one of the best primary slots for pure caster up to level 45? And it goes for about 100p on most servers. The eye is a cool piece but 200p..maybe 50. heck a silver tome is 50-75 now in the bazaar on Tholuxe.

I guess I'm really freakin lucky. I was campin the big shroom to get the fists for my beast lord. I got this thing on the third drop and had no idea anything good dropped off this guy. The cloak I got sucked... I also want the fist of wood to level up my h2h faster than bare fists which the delay is much higher. And it also looks uber just walking around Cabilis /rofl

Hate to tell you people this,but, this item doesn't drop as often as it used to(on The Nameless Server,at least),I have camped this mob for 3 weeks now,I have gotten the shield EVERY time,got the fist's almost every 3 times,but the eye only drops about once a day,SO, you might want to re-think,the price and the personal value of this item.Atleast until its fixed. Me personaly,i like it.

Don't think its broken. I got two of them in 24 hrs with my 30 level warrior (the shroom is still blue). I get mostly shields (fine, I need them) but have gotten one cloak and the two eyes. Not too bad, I think.

I dont really see why so many people are bashing this item. Yes, the Testament of Vanear is a better item for Wis casters. But, that's also the drawback of the item, it's ONLY really useful for Wis casters. The eye does have a lower bonus but that bonus is there for both INT and WIS casters. This automatically makes it useful for a larger class group, not to mention useful for tradeskills. The other bonus to this item is the fact that it's tradable. When you do get a better item at a higher level you can sell this or give to a lower level alt. The Testament is a good item, my level 41 druid is still using his. However, this is a decent alternative and a MUCH shorter camp than the Testament. Dyllin is on an 8 hour timer and I have never seen the Reishicyben spawn less than once an hour. Dyllin is usually highly camped (at least he is on my server) where I have never seen anyone camping the big yellow shroom.

Why would anyone compare this to the testament quest where you have to kill a level 17 Starshine and get a +10 Wis item. Hmmm maybe that quest is a little to easy. Besides find something that rates close to testament difficulty for equal reward and email me got my testament by myself at level 16 and am now spoiled

Useless garbage, eh? First off, I suspect that you dont have one of these items, and if you did you could not have expected much more killing something in Paludal Caverns. What do you want, +13 wis/int +80 mana off a weak mob? I suppose coming on here and calling it garbage would make you feel a bit elevated in your position, but I bet you have a level 16 ranger or something as your main. There are definate uses for items like this...remember when you started your ranger and you scraped up money to buy some banded to replace your raw hide? Banded is useless garbage, right? Had to respond to this, tired of seeing people on this board post something that no one cares to read or needs to read (even worse with no caps or sentence structure and the word noob involved...)

Dylin Starsine is a lvl 14 who uses only melee, and isn't all that hard to kill. soloing him at lvl 18 wouldn't require someone to be twinked, just careful, and maybe a little lucky (root sticking on first try, or making it to zone to try again).

If you time your attack right, the high level smuggler should be down by the water, and if you root and nuke dylin, he's easy to kill. If he doesn't root, run up the hill, jump and zone into the keep. Then try it again. Of course this only works if the camp is empty. Seems like it is sometimes lately.

The Testament of Vanear is one of the EASIEST quests in the game, from a risk/difficulty to reward ratio. My cleric got one at lvl 16, and still carries it at 40. Healso quested a full set of solro cleric armor, and has since replaced and sold almost all of it. Every one of those quests was harder than the Testament of Vanear, and required enchanted platinum to boot. Heck, even the screaming mace quest is harder than the Tesatment quest.

Compared to the Brain of the Beaked Bear this item is pretty mediocre. The Brain fits in the range slot, has wis and give +4% to Meditate. The only advantage of this item over the brain is that the brain is no drop.

What benefit would that provide? When you took it out of your secondary and replaced with the shield, you would lose the extra mana. Why not just get a charred guardian shield, and have ac and 9wis? they sell for less than the price posted above for this.

I have seen the sharkbone warhammer 8/26 1hb +5wis for as low as 200pp. much better for primary melee, as it is a weapon, and has more wis

Charred guardian shield is about 300-400pp and has 9wis and 10 or 12 ac( I forget which). Much better secondary. Or quest Testament of Vanear, which is the EASIEST extra wisdom you will ever get in this game (unless of course you are an Iksar, in which case it is gonna be a lot of faction work). Even the sensate shield 12ac 3 wis, is better than this.

I would value this item at about 30-50pp. Cheap alternatives are just too plentiful.
